This antenna usually provides one extra bar and that makes the difference between having service and not having service. I’ve had one stop working on me and I’m not sure why maybe the wire was pinched. I’m not sure how long they are supposed to last, but I’m on my second one. When it works it is great. If this one breaks I’ll buy another one as there aren’t any other affordable alternatives that actually work.

This antenna works well but the mini is better. The main complaint is the wind whistels through the coil, so it must be set way back on the roof. No sound from the mini dual band version and just as good reception.

This antenna takes about 5 minutes to set up. I may go anywhere from no bars on my cell phone to five. I am so grateful to “Wilson” in developing a product that does what it is advertised to do…….

The antenna works great. I bought it for my USB Internet Access card. The aircard barely has a useable signal inside the house with only it’s built in antenna. The antenna has a ten foot cable which lets it sit at the corner of the front porch. I have a steady 3 or 4 bar signal most of the time with the antenna.

The only complaint is that nearly every cellular device; aircards and phones, need a unique adapter cable to work with the antenna. This is not the fault of the antenna maker or seller. It is due to a lack of standardization in the cellular industry. This vendor does sell most of the adapter cables for [...] but their info does not make it obvious that you need one or easy to figure out which one.

There is an exhaustive list of the adapters, searchable by device manufacturer and model numbers at the antenna makers site at [...]

Good Luck

This antenna is mightier than it appears. I needed to install the antenna in my attic due to wind issues. I tested a grid and yagi but, this little Wilson picks up as strong of a signal as the others, and it costs a lot less!
